hi,
i installed the gingerbread theme and i love it.
but the sony ericsson keypad is blue yet. i dont want to change the keypad app, i like the original keypad. but the blue color is boring. is there a way to change the color from blue to green or black consistent with the gingerbread theme.
thanks
How did you install the gingerbread theme??
got it from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872020
and followed the instructions.
Im sorry i don't know of a black/green SE keyboard, ill add the htc one anyway
thanks for your attachment, but i want to keep the se keyboard. i used a htc diamond for a while and i was not satisfied with that. i can type fast and well with the se keyboard. if there is no way to change the color from blue to an other i will live with the blue one, but hope dies last
try to download this SuquashiInputMethod.apk from here and move it to your device as described in the thread..but I am not sure if it will work
thats what i did before and it didn't seem to work for some reason

It should work flawlessly...
yeah the phone needed a restart thanks =] so yeah it works
just replace the SuquashiInputMethod.apk or I need to do the whole framework-res as well?
I'm currently using the iridium carbon theme btw.
If you want the black keyboard only then yes just replace that file.
okay. thanks! will try it.
i thought i could also do it with root manager
because i find adb push sometimes confusing because i dont exactly know what i am typing most of the times, i tried pasting the SuquashiInputMethod.apk from the black theme to system/app overwriting the existing one.
actually i did it exactly as dark dog suggests in his iridium carbon theme which was very helpful espesially for setting the permissions for the apk.
and i got a black keypad....
yeaahh, now the keypad is black. nice work. thanks

Do you use rootexplorer?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
i used the rootexplorer.
copied the .apk to /system. set permissions to 644. moved .apk to system/data
permission with rootexplorer. hold your finger on the file, choose permissions and set:
_________read__write__execute
user_______*____*
group______*
others_____*
important: change the permissions when the apk is in /system, then move it to /system/data

Open ninja morph, choose the apk you want to modify.. The images you want to change are in res folder in the drawable dir.. choose the icon and replace it with one out of the icon pack..
Open astro.. Go to android themes.. Make new directory, Theme_Name.. Open the workspace folder..this is where the changed apk is... Copy res folder.. Paste it inside Theme_Name.. Delete everything but drawable... Open the silver edit folder in astro and copy Theme_Name.xml and paste it with your new res folder... You just made a morph on your phone...
Open meta morph..start checks and chose existing... Click Theme_Name and Theme_Name.xml, apply all...
Your original images from your apk are in backup inside android themes...

And is there an alternative way instead of metamorph.Thanks.

Well I haven't really had the ability to do lately... and those that can't do, teach.. I was lucky to get in on the bottom floor and learn before xda got cluttered with a bunch of ppl that just take... I figure this is my way to give back to the real devs that put out quality work but can't make their roms perfect for everybody... so that anybody can make the small edits to make their phone perfect for them...

This is my favorite keyboard that I have made so far. Its the stock keyboard for gingerbread roms. I hope everyone else likes it too. I will take requests for other colors as well.
If you dont have the stock keyboard, get the libXT9Engine.zip file from my post with transparent keyboard. Extract with 7zip. Copy to sdcard then to /system/lib when you copy .apk file.
DEODEX INSTALL: copy .apk to /system/app with root explorer, change permissions, reboot to cwm, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot.
ODEX INSTALL: same as above. JUst extract with 7zip first. NOT a flashable zip.
ENJOY!!!

systemUI and framework
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app
Here are orange themed SystemUI and framework-res. I made these from the April 12 nightly. I'm not sure if they will work with any other versions of CM9. Definitely make a nandroid backup before you try them. You can push them via adb or copy them to /system/app/SystemUI.apk and /system/framework/framework.res.apk using something like Root Explorer. If you use something like Root Explorer mount the folder read/write, copy the files, and make sure the permissions are rw-r--r-- like the other files in those folder. Then, simply reboot.
I'm not sure if I'll get around to ever theming any more stuff orange, but it can't hurt to let me know stuff I missed or did wrong.
Enjoy!

Updated!
Updated for the 20120418 official nightly...and zipaligned this time
SystemUI.apk - It adds a new set of battery icons with a little keyboard. I assume that is for when you have an external keyboard attached.
Trebuchet.apk (NEW) - Orange theme added for homescreens and appdrawer. It also replaces the blue architecture wallpaper with an orangified version. It's pretty hideous though. I'll try to come up with something better at some point.
framework-res.apk - Now available and hopefully working too. I've never had any success copy/pasting framework-res. I always have to use adb.

No worries. I'm not really sure I'll be able to keep up with updating this anyway. It's kind of a pain. Hopefully, CM9 Reloaded will support tablets soon.
The newest nightly has Theme Chooser for CM9. Hopefully, someone will make an orange theme. I don't yet know how to make Theme Chooser themes.
I'm trying to change the unlock icon to something a little more jellybean looking. It just seems funny having those nice icons next to a plain white symbol. I'm having trouble recompiling the framework-res.apk. I'll try again tomorrow after work to get a flashable zip posted
For anyone who wants to attempt this them self the icon PNG file is located at
System>framework>framework-res.apk>res>drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi>unlock_default.png
Here's the rough icon I made as well at 244x244 pixels, the same as the original. Not great but its a start

While you are waiting for the tutorial you will need to root your phone and install Root Explorer or another file manager so you can place the files and change permissions of files.
Sorry ive been busy the last few days and tonight I moved my work over to my Linux box and had to reinstall the SDK, adb and apktool all over again. I was getting boot loops when trying to do it without the proper tools plus I need em to make flash able zips. I might have something up tonight as I'm busy with work tomorrow and then borderlands 2 gets released at midnight so I won't be getting any sleep.

Use vrthemer to flash these mods. The scripts automatically update the apk with your images. Use one of the lockmods I made in the 4.2.2 lock mod thread to see how the folder structure is set. Its easy as pie

As for editing xml values you can simply copy the xml file out and edit it using your favourite editor and then copy them back in.
Hope I was able to help some OS X users.
/edit By the way, this method (WinRar or muCommander) also works for editing update.zip. This means you can customise the rom (add/remove system apks, change the boot animation etc) before you flash it.
The one thing I'm having trouble with is the green bars on the bottom of the notification toggles. I can't find where they're at.
